TEXT ORDER: The Court having reviewed the petition and determined that dismissal prior to an answer is not warranted, the Government shall file a full and complete answer to the petition within three days. In filing their answer, the Government shall specifically address the statute governing Petitioner's detention, whether Petitioner has a final removal order, and any criminal history Petitioner may have. Petitioner may file a reply within two days of the filing of the answer. The Government shall not transfer Petitioner out of Delaney Hall until this matter concludes. The Government shall further inform the Court of any transfer of Petitioner out of Delaney Hall within twenty-four hours of its occurrence, including those which predate the Court's injunction on transfers. In addition to what is set out above, a declaration from ICE shall also be filed. It shall indicate that ICE has (i) received this Court's Order prohibiting Petitioner's transfer from Delaney Hall; and (ii) received written legal advice from the United States Attorney's Office on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with that Order. The declaration shall be filed on the public docket of the Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on July 30. The declaration must be executed by either the Newark ICE Field Office Director or by the Newark ICE Field Office Deputy Director. The declaration may be signed by hand or electronically. Finally, the United States Attorney's Office shall immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket if an Order of the Court is violated in connection with this case. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 7/30/2026. (ijf) (Entered: 07/30/2026)
